One Warm Hand

Get the Confetti Cannon in full HD, as we are back for our second season of old Amazing Race recaps - Amazing Race Australia 2! Over these twelve weeks, three people who legally cannot be classified as dancers - Logan, Michael & Michelle - are recapping a season that has an insane reputation amongst fans (which is completely justified), continuing with the second leg and elimination of Adam & Dane!
In this episode - we establish who was in the wrong between James & Sarah, a Reddit post from last year gets discussed, Logan coins a running joke, we wonder if the editors were making Grace look dumb deliberately, there's a bit of a discussion over how teams *actually* got back to Manila, everyone laughs at Poo, Michael brings up Norway, Sam gets hit on, we wonder if Launceston has attack ads, Michelle says something about Paul, Logan does a pitch perfect impression, Michael spots a continuity error, someone channels Batman, a prime bit of Aussie culture is explained to a Canadian, we wonder why the Express Pass went unaired, Lucy & Emilia channel Khaleesi, one of Logan's rules is broken, the editors try (and fail!) to be sneaky, we talk tax, Grant gets pass-agg, we (reluctantly) eulogise the first boots and Michelle pulls a classic Saunders move.
Thank you for listening - we will see you next week for Leg 3!
Please note: This episode is intended on being spoiler-free - however, as with our other historical recaps, this episode may contain references to episodes that we have already covered - namely from Seasons 3 & 23-32; Australia 3; Canada 2-5 and Asia 5.
Additional note: Right now, we have ten iconic teams remaining. Who will be eliminated next week? Whoever it is, it'll be heartbreaking!

The Eleventh Word

Put on your Slush Puppie socks, because we're back for De Mol België Season 11 - and its visit (which we can take partial credit for) to Arizona! Over these nine weeks, three guys who have been known to intentionally throw the coin toss - Michael, Logan & Bindles - have been recapping and breaking down everything that happens as we try and work out who to get matching tattoos with, concluding with the reunion.
In this episode - we wonder whether our cameo was successful, Bindles shows up, we blame the "Bloody DeLorean", there's a bit of gloaty housekeeping, Comfort's attitude as Mole is refreshing, we touch upon Finale Fashion, Gilles' secret is revealed, the cameo is critiqued, another Mole franchise spoils its third Mole, the season's legacy is analysed, the opportunity to dump on NetMol is taken, our next Mole Historians is spelt out, Bindles has been sneaky (fifteen times!) and credit is given to those we deem worthy.
Please note: This episode is intended on being spoiler-free, but references to any season we have already covered (WIDM 10, 14, 17-23 and Renaissance; België 4-10) may be made.
Additional note: Now we're finished with Mole podcasts for the year, what's next? Find out in this episode!

Those We Deem Worthy

Find someone to share the awkwardness and terror of "oh shit, we're wrong!" with, because we're back for De Mol België Season 11 - and its visit (which we can take partial credit for) to Arizona! Over these nine weeks, two guys who always give you a hard time for messing up one verb conjugation - Michael & Logan - are recapping and breaking down everything that happens as we try and work out who to get matching tattoos with, continuing with the eighth episode and reveal of Comfort as Mole!
In this episode - we discuss how busy our respective weeks were, Logan had a reaction, someone earns praise, we recalibrate what we expect from a Mole in future, Michael has a particularly awkward record, we swap airline opinions, there are more stories that weren't in the Diary, our opinions on the DeLorean twist slightly change, we've had our first Listener Correction of the Week in years (kind of) which could lead to some repercussions, Michael runs through the bonus bingo card, we wonder what happened to Larry, Toos is a team player, we rank pieces of information, the reason for the cactus fall is revealed, the way to be okay with the DeLorean is explained, Season 12 is happening, There are the official results of the Pool, First Impressions and Suspicions (where someone does a Michael Harmstone Classic), our Suspicions and the Suspect List, the pot is compared and we begin to rank the season.
We will see you next week for the reunion!
Please note: This episode is intended on being spoiler-free, but references to any season we have already covered (WIDM 10, 14, 17-23 and Renaissance; België 4-10) may be made. This episode also - for potentially obvious reasons! - refers to something that happened in Mole Australia 4 a few times, as well as the actions of someone in El Salvador & Nicaragua.
Additional note: Absolute shock rippled around the press room for the reveal - can we make sense of it next week?
